So similar to the Poyet situation.
Only if non of the 3 teams above them win, and Reading have played a game more too.
What? What are you talking about winning all remaining games for? If Reading won all their remaining games they'd finish as champions on 108 points.That cant happen though they cant all win their remaining games because they still have to play each other plus the teams above them.
I normally try to resist slagging off Reading as historically their status isn't that different from ours. But my first thought on hearing about Clarke's sacking is they do seem to have developed a MASSIVE sense of entitlement since spending a couple of years in the top division.
Nothing to do with entitlement. It was the performance rather than the result last night that was the telling blow, the players were not interested and haven't wanted to play for the manager since his public talks with Fulham (by the way, a job he was ready to take until he went back with bonus demands which were turned down, so he decided "Reading was the best club for him at this time"), the fans had turned on him too. His position was untenable and a couple of bad results were enough.
Seems to be the way it worksTalk to Fulham...........and in two weeks you get sacked. Thems the rules.
To be fair, I don't think he did himself any favours by agreeing to talk to Fulham. When he turned down their offer he put himself in an unwinnable position. The directors of Reading Football Club would have immediately started questioning his loyalty.
Not really that bizarre with his gambling habit.
Pearson would be a good choice and if he goes there they will definitely make the play offs.
I'm amazed that he isn't back in football already to be honest.
There are some desperate clubs in this division.
